What is taking up my gigs on my iphone?
Ok so yesterday I got my new iphone5s and went on iTunes and checked my storage and it said that other took up 2 gigs. What is other for the iphone? How do you take of other.
The stuff that goes in "other" will depend on how you use your iPhone. One possible explanation is any app that relies on your use of the internet - safari being the obvious possibility. Try clearing the history and cookies for safari in settings, then doing a full restart.
Other is usually files from iOS itself as well as cache from apps. Other than clearing that cache every now & then nothing really could be done. You could download a desktop app called PhoneClean that could do it for you though. Works fine for me.
Thats basically the software (IOS 7, fingerprint) that makes your phone run. You can't delete it.
- Why is there so much gigs missing from my iphone? Please send I got a 16gb iphone 5, And it works just fine. But when i look into itunes it says 4gbs are used in apps and 7 GBS in "other"! I know the os takes memory but it can't be almost half my total memory!
- Why is there 3.17 gigs of other on my iPhone? I barely have any apps so the app data isn't taking up much space, I delete my history frequently, and I keep my texts but that can't be taking up *that* much room. I've restored it months ago but it never fixed the problem.
- Why does my iphone have 4 gigs of other stored on it? When I plug my iphone into my laptop it says there's 4.8 gigs of a category called other? What is that and how can I remove it?
- Why does my iPhone 5 which Is sold with 32 gigs say only 28.1 gigs available? I got a 32 gig iPhone 5 and in the systems it says it's capacity is 28.1 gigs. I'm guessing it has something to do with system files and the iOS, but I'm not sure
